Medtronic, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is among the world’s largest medical technology, services and solutions companies and it has been the leader in DBS therapy for over 25 years. It continues to serve as further evidence of our dedication to our DBS patients allowing them to experience an altogether smarter therapeutic journey.

DBS therapy uses a surgically implanted medical device, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, to deliver electrical stimulation to precisely targeted areas of the brain as adjunctive treatment for several neurological disorders. Medtronic DBS systems are the first approved for full-body MRI scans under specific conditions in the United States. Since 1997, more than 150,000 Medtronic DBS devices have been implanted worldwide for movement disorders and other indications.
